The legs, especially as regards the femur, are more robust and less setose. The oviger is of the usual type with the seventh normally articulated to the sixth segment. Remarks. The specimens in the Discovery collection agree well with the co-types from Scotia Bay. This species undoubtedly belongs to group II and yet it has (i) a rather shorter abdomen, (2) a longer second tibia, (3) more numerous spinules on the fingers of the chela, and (4) a higher number of denticulate spines on the oviger than any of the other typical species (see Table III). In all these respects it approaches N. clarenci, , and A'. brachyrhynchiim, Hoek, especially the former in which the palp is of the same type. Also the atypical species in group II are more closely allied to A. orcadense than to any of the other typical species. Distribution. Previously recorded from Scotia Bay; Burdwood Bank, south of Falkland Islands and South Georgia. Nymphon articulare, Hodgson (Figs. 23 a, 28 and 29 a, b).

E end of Normanna Strait, South Orkneys, near Cape Hansen, Coronation Island, 24-36 m. Small beam trawl: i ?, i ( and several immature specimens. Description of male topotype. Trunk non-setose, rather compact; lateral processes separated by half of their own diameter or rather more. Neck very short, the posterior two-thirds on either side occupied by the base of the oviger; cephalic segment almost as wide anteriorly as long. Ocular tubercle high and rather wide; eyes small and set near to the bifid apex. Proboscis a little shorter than scape and equal to cephalic segment; stout, sub- cyHndrical, contracted somewhat at base. Abdomen pyriform, reaching to distal end of first coxa; elevated at an
